You might want to tell that to Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Mark Begich (D-AK), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Kay Hagan (D-NC) Jeff Berkley (D-OR), Al Franken (D-MN) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). I'm betting all 7 and then some get kicked out of the Senate next year. They could use a hug from a koolaid drinker like you.
Won't happen for reasons I have said numerous times. The GOP failed recruit their top people in NC like Steve Troxler, or Cherie Berry so they have a bunch of no-names and the speaker of the state house which means Hagan will have an easy time making the NC state legislature an issue.
Yes indeed, do not feel we have standing in the world, as we once did. And yes having more enemies today, is not nothing to sneezze at.
People who cannot navigate the intricacies of double negative construction need not worry their heads about America's international reputation. We have enemies because of our continued association with Israel. Period. Recent revelations about NSA activities has not yet created new enemies. Obama might be President but he has nothing to do with NSA activities. Nor U.S. policies with respect to Israel. These are legacy ideologies. All U.S. presidents are duty bound to maintain them. The next U.S. president, and there will be one, will have a very similar foreign policy to Obama. On balance though, America's foreign standing is actually better now, under Obama, than during the Bush administration. This too is not up for argument. There is a mountain of evidence to support the contention that Bush did not elevate America's posture in the world but that Obama has.
This mindset, of course, among liberals is what created the thing that is Obama. Blind allegience to a political party and inability to process information will result in poor candidates rising up through the political ranks.
When the policies promoted by a candidate defy common sense, principles of liberty, promote class warfare, and create economic distress, perhaps that candidate should not achieve the highest office in the land. Perhaps....................... just perhaps...................... a community organizer with essentially NO EXPERIENCE and a dubious background should not be given the reigns of the US. What in the hell were Obama voters thinking? Answer- they were not thinking.
My father (a political moron) has voted democrat for his entire life, due to grain price declines in the Eisenhower administration. Of course, the price declines under Carter were just fine, but that pesky Ike created a reflex, knee jerk democrat, who has voted against his own personal values and views for the rest of his life.
Obama won in 2008 because no Republican was going to win given the national mood at the time.
Obama was experienced in 2012. He won because the Republicans ran an "exclusivist" campaign that sought to marginalize way too many people. If Romney had run a forward-thinking campaign that offered reasonable alternatives to ACA or real information about the problems it would cause, or made 47 percent comments, he would have won.

His complete refusal to go back very far in his taxes didn't help either, especially given the fact that his father was the poster boy for releasing more then a few years of taxes. It doomed in even before the other stuff in my mind.
...I am clearly voting Republican for the rest of my life, and support their entire platform.
Obviously.
I doubt it but laud you for the opening admission statement.
